- ~Objectives:
-
- ~ Like life itself, this game has no single simple object. It could be said
- that survival is the objective, but even that is not always the case. More often
- than not, you will set out on an expedition with the intent to reach a certain
- level of the dungeon and then return to the town. This would be the object for
- that expedition. Perhaps when you are level-drained by a wraith, you will set
- out on a wraith killing mission. That is an objective.
-
- ~ Experience makes a character more powerful. This means more spells points,
- more health points, and other good things. The quest for experience is a key
- part of this game. Experience is obtained by killing monsters, but only takes
- effect after you stay at an Inn.
-
- ~ The game involves a process of equipping, fighting, exploring, and healing.
- New characters have only a knife and no money, so equipping is not yet possible.
- A good start is to find the stairs down and go kill some monsters (piece of
- cake!). Then, with the treasure you find, you might be able to buy a cure, or
- maybe even a sword or some armor.
-
- ~ You must keep an eye on your health points. When your Health Points drop
- below zero, your character dies, and that doesn't feel good. Each time a
- monster hits you, your health points will go down. There are several ways that
- you can regain your health points:
- MORE (Hit any key)
- ~Ways to get cured:
-
- ~ Get a cure or a heal at the temple (Expensive)
- ~ Throw a cure or a heal on yourself (Wizards or very experienced fighters)
- ~ Stay at an Inn (Very slow healing)
- ~ Find rings of regeneration (Great if you can find one)
-
- ~ A typical expedition goes as follows:
-
- ~1) Enter the Dungeon and kill monsters.
- ~2) Leave the Dungeon and cash in treasure at the bank.
- ~3) Sleep at an inn to regain spell points and see if your character becomes
- higher level (you must have about 250 experience points to become 1'st
- level).
- ~4) Get cured at the temple.
- ~5) Buy new weapons with any extra money.
- ~6) Go back in and try out your new stuff on some more powerful monsters.
-
- ~ The most exciting goal is to find the fountain of youth on the 70'th level.
- This fountain will regenerate your character, allowing him to become more
- powerful than ever before. Reaching the fountain will be no easy task and may
- take months of play. But if you are very clever, you will find a way.
